Filter by:This research is a randomized controlled experimental study to evaluate the effects of PMR application based on HBM in terms of blood sugar and anxiety levels in women with GDM. 34 pregnant women who applied PMR formed the "intervention group" and 34 pregnant women who did not practice PMR formed the "control group". The intervention group received "Progressive Muscle Relaxation Training". It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the last follow-up state anxiety score averages, and the intermediate and final follow-up trait anxiety scores between the intervention and control groups. It was determined that PMR provided a decrease in psychological anxiety levels in pregnant women with GDM, and did not have a positive effect on physiologically fasting, 1 hour postprandial and 2 hour postprandial blood glucose levels. PMR training prepared based on HBM is a method that nurses can perform independently to ensure the psychological well-being of pregnant women with GDM.
Methamphetamine and amphetamine has various cardiovascular and central nervous system effects. Long-term use is associated with many adverse health effects including cardiomyopathy, hemorrhagic, and ischemic stroke. Death is usually caused by cardiovascular collapse and while amphetamine abuse has been considered as a potential cause of acute respiratory distress syndrome, the reports are usually anecdotal. This investigation considers reviewing individuals with few to zero medical conditions who develop acute respiratory distress syndrome and are methamphetamine positive
The investigators are planning to perform a secondary analysis of an academic dataset of 1,303 patients with moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) included in several published cohorts (NCT00736892, NCT02288949, NCT02836444, NCT03145974), aimed to characterize the best early model to predict duration of mechanical ventilation and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) after ARDS diagnosis using machine learning approaches.
There is an unmet medical need for monitoring sleep for multiple nights in a patient's home, without the inconvenience of traveling and staying overnight in a medical center, and without the need for a technician to set up a polysomnography (PSG) device at the patient's home. Several disorders, and particularly sleep disorders, are associated with insomnia symptoms, and longitudinal sleep assessment may support a better understanding and management of these patients, who currently seldom access sleep lab PSG. On one hand, this study aims at demonstrating whether the final device's user interface supports safe and effective use when being used at home over multiple nights. On the other, the study aims at confirming that stable and consistent data are measured in the device's actual use, for the records to be clinically usable in daily practice.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the pharyngeal airway changes after treatment with Myobrace and after treatment with Twinblock in developing skeletal Class II patients. The main question it aims to answer is: Is the efficacy of the twin-block Vs Myobrace appliances in the improvement of pharyngeal airway dimensions in adolescents having skeletal Class II malocclusion with retrognathic mandible utilizing sagittal pharyngeal airway area measurements.
Abstract Purpose Patients with anticoagulation therapy has a higher risk of developing traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage (tICH). Delayed Intracranial Hemorrhage (d-ICH) is a rarer clinical manifestation; however, the incidence varies from 0-9,6 % in other studies. Some studies have also questioned the clinical relevance of d-ICH, since the mortality and the need of neurosurgical intervention is reported to be very low. The aim of this study is to determine the incidence of d-ICH at Sundsvall Regional Hospital. Methods A retrospective observational study of patients with mTBI and oral anticoagulation therapy. Data from medical records and radiology registry in Sundsvall hospital for 29 months during 2018-2020 in Sundsvall identified 249 patients with an initial negative CT scan who performed a follow-up CT scan. Outcome measure was incidence of d-ICH.
Management of traumatic brain injuries causes significant efforts on emergency departments (ED) and overall health care. Patients on antithrombotic treatment with even minor trauma to the head, although without significant clinical findings, represent special challenges because the risk of traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (tICH) with these agents. The aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of tICH in patients on various pre-injury antithrombotic treatment exposed to minor Traumatic Brain injuries (mTBI) in Sundsvall with untreated patients. Secondary aim was to explore different risk factors for tICH. Data from medical records and radiology registry with mTBI in Sundsvall hospital between 2018-2020 in Sundsvall identified 2044 patients. Demographic data, pre-injury medications with antithrombotic treatment, state of consciousness at admission and the results of CT-scans of brain was investigated.
Primary aim of this study is to determine whether core stabilization training in addition to orofacial manual therapy is more effective on Temporomandibular Disorders (TMD) symptoms than orofacial manual therapy alone in patients with TMD. These secondary aim is to determine the effectiveness of orofacial manual therapy on TMD symptoms in patients with TMD. Patients will be treated for 10 sessions once a week, for a total of 10 weeks. Evaluation was planned to be done twice, at the beginning and end of the treatment.
To determine whether older patients who underwent esophagectomy had better outcome survival than those who were non-surgically treated.
Intranasal dexmedetomidine provided good pharmacokinetic profile. However, intravenous dexmedetomidine have been used in functional endoscopic sinus surgery for several outcomes, there is lack in studies that had compared the efficacy of intravenous and Intranasal Dexmedetomidine for improving quality of the operative field in functional endoscopic sinus surgery. Therefore, we established this randomized study to compare intranasal dexmedetomidine with intravenous dexmedetomidine improving quality of the operative field in functional endoscopic sinus surgery.
